Crunchy Falafel —

Falafel is a deep-fried ball or patty made from soaked and ground chickpeas.

It is typically a traditional Middle Eastern food , commonly served in a pita bread, or wrapped in it , as a falafel wrap, which I have made this time.

The falafel balls can be topped with fresh salads and sauces of your choice and can be drizzled with hummus or tahini sauce .

Falafel balls may be eaten as a snack or as a main course wrapped up in a pita bread.

Star Ingredient :

Chickpeas

Main Ingredients :

2 cups of chickpeas ( soaked overnight)

1 cup of roughly chopped onion

4 to 5 pieces of garlic

1 cup of parsley and coriander leaves

2 tbsp of cumin powder

4 to 5 tbsp of flour

1 teaspoon of red chilli powder

2 tsp of lemon juice

Salt to taste

Vegetable oil for frying

Method :

Soak the chickpeas overnight , then in the morning drain all the water and put it in a food processor along with the chopped onion, garlic cloves, parsley, flour, salt, cumin, ground coriander and red chilli powder.

Grind together all the ingredients to a coarse powder Scrape the sides of the processor periodically and push the mixture down the sides. It should be paste like consistency , don’t overprocess it or it has a probability of turning into hummus — 🙂

Once it reaches , the desired consistency pour it into a bowl and mix in baking soda (optional ), this will make the fritters crispier . Make balls out of the mixture and keep it aside.

Put enough oil on a wok, and deep fry all the fritters in batches. Once they turn brown in colour remove them on a plate with a paper napkin to drain out the excess oil.

To make a wrap , place 2 to 3 falafel on pita bread, add some green salad (cucumber , tomato, cabbage or greens of your choice, drizzle some hummus and wrap it up. Your lovely falafel wrap in pita bread is ready to eat —

Great read. All the best to you Andrew. Prove the consensus wrong. In my humble opinion I can’t understand why development funding has been limited to athletes under 23. Development is depmeovlent, no matter the age.

These high deductibles are like having NO insurance. My family cannot afford $100 per month. We don’t qualify as low income and we have two low paying jobs. We don’t get sick. We do put away $10.00 per month for emergencies, which is a lot more than my friends.
